The Peripheral | Prime Video Series | Season 2 Cancelled

[Avisible Man]

Another great episode. The German and North African breh, Wilf / Wolf just wants to find his sister. They highlighted that part of his ancestry to market him at the adoption agency.

That haptic tech be giving these vets Spidey Sense and shyt. These dudes all got a sixth sense like they been playing ball with each other for years and know exactly where to go and where the other one is gonna be.

Okoye gotta chill. She out there thinking she Cottonmouth from Luke Cage while she does my girl Midani from The Punisher like Nic Cage in The Wicker Man.

She too fine to die. She had 2 small kids I need her to come back as a peripheral. Upload her consciousness into that knockoff Westworld pearl and we good.

Speaking of Westworld, those bees reminded me of the flies in Westworld. Maybe they'll do to Grace what the flies did to the humans in Westworld? I don't know. I'm just hoping Grace comes back.

Looks like they're not going with the "if you die in a dream/VR you die for real" cliche...but they ARE suggesting that if your peripheral dies it does at least cause some physical damage to your real body.

Reminds me of "Happy Death Day" where Tree has the residual scar tissue from the damage she takes in her death cycles. She gets killed with a bat to the head; she wakes up with a concussion. That helped give each death real repercussions for Tree and I like that idea for Flynne. That cutting edge VR got her out here like James Reece from "The Terminal List," with her hand locking up. I'ma need Wolf to hook her up with a magic shot with better than 57% efficacy rate.

Burton: U want a hand?
Connor:

Burton: Alright. Get on in. Put ur best foot forward...I'd give an arm and a leg for a rig like this...I mean it. U got a leg up on all of us. Hands down.



That exchange was tremendous. Great camaraderie between those two.

Yeah, she already has the shaky hands and with future breh being coy about what happens to her, it wouldn't surprise me if she suffers long-term or maybe even fatal damage when all is said and done.

I think he was referring to the fact that LOTS of people are going to die within the next couple of decades.
I don't want spoilers, but they've already hinted at multiple different catastrophes
-They mentioned that snow hasn't fallen in years, so there's probably been extreme global warming
-The adoption agency mentioned that Wilf and Alita were fully immunized, so obviously there was a super pandemic
-The giant statues were referred to as "air scrubbers", so there's something bad in the air. I'm wondering if its the pandemic, or some kind of aerosolized 'gray goo'.
-They also mentioned that bees went extinct, were brought back, then went extinct again before being brought back again

I didn't pick up on any mention of nuclear war, but that also wouldn't surprise me

Awesome episode! I guess I’m shipping Wilf & Flynn cause that’s what I do when it comes to fandoms

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

my boys said this was good, gonna check it out

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I tried for 3 episodes but this just ain’t it for me.

 

[DynamikD]

About to watch the 3rd episode. The first 2 hooked me nicely and reading the pasts posts I did not know this was a book. Might have to dust off the kindle paperwhite and get to work.

The Jackpot display

Good they seem to be getting more people in the future, because Flynn still has the shaky hands.

 

[GoldenGlove]

This is straight so far. It looks great, it's shot and graded at a high level.

I haven't had that completely in moment yet. Even with this being a more accessible Westworld (I dipped on that show after S2) it's still pretty heavy on the dialog and exposition.

The time jumps are less jarring and confusing compared to say, WW S2, so that's a good thing, but I haven't been blown away yet... The trailer was awesome so I checked it out. Hopefully they nail this by the end of it, I want it to be great.

The Jackpot display

Filovirus had me I'd eat a bullet before I go out like that.

 

[Primetime]

Yea i'm glad it's looking like they're gonna get the other two in the peripheral. Like ol girl said, she's an explorer.. which is needed, but if they get the other two in there... shiiiiiiiid. They about that action.

Which makes me feel like they're still setting up the foundation of the show. Which is cool because it's not boring nor tedious to get through despite it being fairly dense subject matter, however once all the pieces are in place i hope the execution is on point.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Enjoyed this episode, a lot of world building which I love in Sci-Fi. The jackpot explanation was great and made me want to run the episode back right after. Because now things make more sense with the young Aleta and Wolf scenes. Now that everything is set up I’m interested to see what’s everyone’s motivation is it feel like Liv group are trying to prevent the Jackpot while Sherace is trying to make sure nothing from the past changes. Good Stuff so far, I now seeing how it can go a few seasons and with Westworld being cancelled I hope this can finish strong because Sci Fi shows are getting cancelled left and right

The whole "killed your alternate self/family in the other universe" thing really DOES remind me of "Counterpart"

I'm kind of annoyed that this is based on a book, because I want to speculate on something but I hate the fact that there are lots of people out there who already know whether what I'm thinking is true.

But I'm going to go ahead anyway....

Spoiler: My unspoiled speculation

Since when already see that the "Future" universe sees the "Past" stubs as not 'real', they're using the stubs to do all kinds of unethical experiments. So, my speculation is that "Future" universe is not the real ORIGINAL universe, and that there is some other 'Prime' universe out there in the Multiverse that created the Jackpot by doing all kinds of crazy experiments on the stub that ended up turning into what we see as the post-Jackpot Future universe.

You gotta be right, cause ain't no way all of those disasters happened naturally with a nuke to finish it off.

i wish alt shift x was doing recaps on this.


i'm enjoying it so far, but i feel like i'm high key missing certain things.
